The LEDS indicate that the in-
terfaces are established but
there is no data connection.

4.3 Updating the software and configurations

The BIOS, the routing application code and the configurations are stored in the device's flash memory and handled
as a standard disk drive. The executable codes have a .bin extension and can by updated via FTP using the ATLAS
300 router FTP server, and by XModem through the device's local console.
The configurations have a .cfg extension and can only be read and written via FTP. If you want to make copies of
your configurations, just get the .cfg router file from the router. Similarly, if you want to use a configuration, simply
overwrite that file.
Note
UPDATING THE APPLICATION
The code storage system simulates a standard disk drive. Make sure the application file name loaded
in the device matches the existing one. If they do not match, the loaded code may not activate automat-
ically and the system will continue to execute the code that existed prior to the updating.
If you always use the same file name, the system will delete the old code and replace it with the new
one, activating said code automatically.

4.3.1 Updating via FTP

Teldat devices have an internal FTP server that knows whether the file being loaded comes from BIOS, an applica-
tion or somewhere else. The server operation, therefore, is completely transparent.
Note
By default, the FTP server is located in port 21. The FTP server port can be changed through the con-
figuration. Make sure you are accessing the correct port. Otherwise, you will not get a response from
the server.
To transfer code (assuming you have not changed the server port):
• Enter the login and password.
• Switch to binary mode using the binary command.
• Perform the transfer using the put command.
• Permanently save the loaded file with the quote site savebuffer command.
• If you want the device to restart automatically and start running the new code, you can send the quote site reload

Check that you are using the appropriate cable and that the driver is inserted cor-
rectly (DTE or DCE).
Check that the configuration is correct (speed, protocol, etc.).
Check the configuration (routes, IP addresses, serial interface speed, etc.).
- If you have defined users, use their usernames and passwords as the login and
password. Depending on the level of access, updates may or may not be per-
formed.
- If there are no defined users, use root as login.
- If you have not set a password, press enter.
- If you have set a console password, enter it to access the FTP server.
- If you have enabled RADIUS server authentication, enter the appropriate pass-
word.
